A proposal by the Publica-tions
Commission to subscribe
to the United Press Internation-al
teletype service has been
given a conditional go-ahead by
university officials.
The proposal suggested that a
teletype machine be installed in
the Student Center across from
the main desk.
Primary purpose of the serv-ice
is in keeping with President
Eckley's concern that students
and faculty involve themselves
in national and international af-fairs.
The presence of the teletype
constantly bringing the news as
it happens, is expected to do
much to stimulate this interest.
President Eckley said that he
hoped the service can be in op-eration
by the scheduled date of
Oct. 15, just in time for the No-vember
Presidential election.
Specifically, the university
will make a contract with UPI
for a year. The contract in-cludes
the arrangement of two
weeks or more.
Installation of the teletype

Petitions for freshman class
officers and senatorial candi-dates
and for upperclass offi-cers
are now available at the
Main Desk in Memorial Center.
Petitions will be due at 5
p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 2,
followed by a mandatory meet-ing
for all candidates or their
representatives at 9 p.m. in the
Commission Office.
The Argus will print plat-forms
of candidates for fresh-man
class senators. Duplicate
copies of the 250-word maximum
machine will be $67. The price
'of tshe service to educational in-stitutions
is $35 per week of
use actual cost to UPI.
UPI will pay for all needed
maintenance to the machine,
and repair work is guaranteed
within hours. Wesleyan will
have to buy all the paper used
on the teletype-from $2.50 to
$4.00 per week.
Therefore, the total cost of
the service will run somewhere
around $1200 per academic
year.
The proposal also suggests
that a committee be formed to
collect all important news stor-ies
and post them on the bulle-tin
boards so that latecomers
can also see the unabridged re-ports
of the days happenings.
At the President's Cabinet
meeting Wednesday, the pro-posal
received a tentative OK,
provided the funds could be ob-tained.

Oct. 7 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. in
the center. Final voting will be
held Oct. 14.
Mark Sheldon, IWU Senate
president, accused the IWU ad-ministration
of being "danger-ously
behind" in hours policy
and "hesitating to allow the
freedom to learn responsi-bility."
He also accused students
of lagging in social awareness.
SHELDON FELT, however,
that while the ISU Senate is
only now becoming a powerful
force, Wesleyan's Senate chan-nels
had established responsi-bilities
well.
President of Illinois State
Student Senate Jim Peterson
contrasted the student govern-leyan
as a small, tightly knit
school where communications
are good and the Senate can
affect all areas of university
life.
Conversely, ISU's Senate can-not
affect all of areas in such
a large and diverse community.
CONCERNING HOURS poli-cy,
Peterson believes the ISU
administration a t t e m p t s to
"make college a living experi-ence"
by giving a student "all
the freedom he can obtain and
utilize so that he can get a
better and more rounded edu-cation."
IWU President Robert Eckley
dramatized the need for con-structive
realization and utili-zation
of differences by citing

TRADITIONAL ROLES of
Wesleyan and State were also
considered by Dr. Samuel Bra-den,
President of Illinois State.
Braden related an early state-ment
of the purpose of Wes-leyan
as being in "the general
interest of education, profes-sional
and social," preparing
students to "discharge honor-ably
and usefully the duties of
life." ISU was, at the same time,
occupied with agricultural, me-chanical
and industrial life.
ACCORDING TO Braden, by
the mid-1900's each school had
received wide recognition in its

schools for State, fine arts
schools for Wesleyan.

Repairs to the Art Studio
building, damaged by fire Aug.
14, will be completed in about
a week, according to Business
Manager Philip Kasch. The cost
has been estimated to run as
high as $5,000.
Since space is needed, the
building will be kept as tempor-ary
quarters until the $2.5 mil-lion
fine arts complex is com-pleted.
The present building
will then be razed. According
to Kasch, this is the most eco-nomical
option.
The fire, not completely de-
S.stroying the building, was at-tributed
to "undetermined ori-gin."
No further investigations
are planned.
